Hi All, Since I don’t know what a proper manifest file (info.plist) should look like, other than what LiveCode creates via the standalone process, and I could not get my hands on one someone is using for their apps in the JAMF MDM, I decided just to build an app in Xcode/Swift and extract its info.plist for comparison.
This also allowed me to check to make sure my cert and Enterprise Distribution profile were correct. Apple has some FoodApp tutorials, I took one of their competed samples and compiled it into an app in Xcode with our Enterprise Developer profile. I was able to load it up into our JAMF MDM, assign it to a iPad in the MDM, and then download it from the Self Service app onto the targeted iPad. Apparently the profile is good. When I look at the two info.list files, they were fairly similar, but it appears that LiveCode add a lot of keys that Xcode does when it compiles. I briefly tried to make the LiveCode info.plist appear more like the Xcode info.plist, and then try my app over with the new info.plist I modified. It still was not working for me. I was in a bit of a rush, so I will do it again with a little more care. I have included both the info.plist from my app, and the info.plist from the Xcode “food app.” Not sure if anything will jump out at anyone, but please let me know if so. I am guessing that the LiveCode info.plist is what is fouling up the MDM delivery of my app. Here they are: MyOpenMath app info.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC
